Mr.. 1atham's Advice.

The following private letter TO
Judge Landes, which we are permitted
TO publish, gives the views of Mr..
John G. Latham on the o. V. prop
osition. Mr.. l.. is large tax
payer in the district, but as saga
cious business man he knows that the

to both Hopkinsville and Christian
county;
New York, AUG, 8, 1887.
Hon. Jos. l. LANDEs.
Hopkinsville, Ky.
Dear Sir:-Your letter enclosing
printed copy of proposition from the
OHIO Valley Railroad Company to
extend its line from Princeton to
Hopkinsville, has been received.
l have read the proposition very
carefully, consider it unusually fav-
orable in many respects, and believe
ii would be for the best interest of
the city of Hopkinsvllle to make the
subscription of 100000, without any
hesitation whatever. Were 1 a res
ident, l would gladly vote for it, for
there are in the proposition some
safeguards aud guarantees that
many railroads would not think of
offering. i do not consider it neces-
sary to enter into any discussion
about the matter, as the proposition
itself is so explicit and comprehen-
sive.
believe 1t is general sentiment
of the citizens of Hopkinsville that
another railroad is indispensable.
The city is not large enough, nor rich
enough, to build its own line, and to
make each and ,ery connection that
it wonld like; hence. new line must
be built almost wholly by foreign
capitalists.
The subscription Of 100000 would
not build and equip properly with
rolling stock, provide .depots, etc,
more than five or six miles of road
and for this sum If the city Of Hop
kinsvillo can have road built from
Hopkinsvile to Princeton, some
thirty miles, | believe the advantages
that will rebound to the city will
speedily overcome the expenditure
made.
BY the new road the city will have
an independent connection with the
Chesapeake & Ohio at Princeton,
and will doubtless, receive a large
amount oftrade from Caldwell, Trigg
and Lyon counties that it does not
now receive. The building Of new
road will add Importance TO the City
of Hopkinsville, aud when the Ohio
Valley System is fully completed
new avenues of business may bt
opened that are not now considered
Sincerely Yours,
! JSo. @. LATHAM, in.

THE CORONER ALL RIGHT.

ICliNCs
THE CORONER ALL RIGHT.
| find the books and accounts of
Coroner Meredith correct, with few
exceptions where he failed to sign his
name as Coroner to cases of burial.
His predecessors books are not in
good shape, but it being simply care
lessness it is not worth while looking
into them, Coroner Meredith holds
receipts for all valuables coming into
his hands which he has turned over.
He has trunk which he does not
know what to do with.
THE TAX COLLECTOR.
Mr.. Mackenzie found that Collector
Crawford had received and turned into
the County Treasury $24 in July,
whereas the law says that only between
the last Monday in November and the
tast Monday in December he can re-
ceive money, otherwise Mr.. Crawford
is all right.
EX-COLLECTOR HAMMOND.
Expert Mackenzie says that Ham
portion OF this deficit occurred prior to
January l., 1887, and during the
months of November and December,
1886. On the last Monday in December
1886, ex-Collector Hammond, as his
cash book showed, was defaulter in
the sum of $S001.76 and his exhibit
proving that he had settled with the
county was fraudulent. Had the
County Auditor, prior to giving the
Tax Collector his salary warrant for
the month of December, demanded of
him his treasury receipt for all sums
collected by him during the month of
December, Hammond could not have
put up the amount of shortage Of
s8OO1. .76 and there the matter would
have ended. Auditor Montana claims
that he demanded by his books
(error) of Hammond on the Sd
of January 1887 and at subsequent
times the sum of $7861.86. No official
notice Of such demand appears until
January oath. On this date Ham
mond responded to the notice by OBJ
tanning from the Auditor a permit to
deposit the above amount. This
amount as deposited was made up
from collections made by Hammond
between January Sd and January oath
and should have been paid by being
deposited to the credit of the county
prior to receiving his salary warrant
for December 1886. The balance Of
the deficit, $444017, occurred during
January.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
This official is reported all right in
every particular.
sHERIFF's OFFICE.
The books of Sheriff Kays were ex-
amined, and with the exception of
ten cents in favor of the county, they
were found correct. The expert says
that Sheriff Kays' books are abso-
lutely correct, and the trifiing error
above referred to occurred in Sheriff
Cards time. AS to the jailor, the
expert recommended that he be not
allowed to give a prisoner into the
custody of anybody without taking a
receipt for him.
THE COUNTY RECORDER.
The expert is pleased to say that he
finds Recorder Gibson's books abso-
lutely correct.
THE COUNTY CLERK.
Mr.. Dunsmoor was found all cor
rect, with the exception of clerical
error Of $l.50

moval Of the complaint. He sugges-
ted to your committee that he could
probably be cured by the employment
OF a professional oculist. The
grounds surrounding and belonging to
the County Hospital are kept in a
good state of cultivation. The build
ings are commodious and the wards
are generally susceptible of thorough
ventilation. The plastered walls of
the older building we think should be
renovated by coat of whitewash or
calcimine. 1t would doubtless be
beneficial mot only as a sanitary meas
ure, but also as specific for the ex-
termination of vermin. The sewerage
facilities in connection with the hospi-
tai are simply abominable. The re-
ceptacles of the refuse of l23 patients
are, a cess pool, connected with the
hospital by pipe line of about four
or five rods in length, and an ordinary
water-closet, such as are usually made
in the country. This cess pool is at
present full, and running over. The
stencil arising therefrom is conveyed
into the kitchen, and also into some
of the wards. Your committee in
quired of some OF the patients if the
vapor was not disagreeable, to which
they replied in substance, that some
time ago it was not at all pleasant,
but now they had become used to it.
We would suggest that immediate con-
struction of a new cess pool, at a
point more remote if possible from the
hospital and with a vent sufficiently
high to carry the sewer gases out of
the way. The facilities afforded for
the storage of provisions and for the
wholesome cooking of food are limited
and are not, we think, conducive to
the preservation of health. These
departments are situated in the base
ment directly under the dining room,
to which they are connected by an
elevator or dumb-waiter. There is
little or no ventilation in either of
these apartments. The most natural
escape for the hot air OF the kitchen is
up the elevator and into the dining
room. Your committee would re-
spectfully suggest as a sanitary meas
ure for the protection and preservation
of the public health the removal of
these apartments and the building of
a kitchen and storeroom above ground
and in such a position as to admit of
thorough ventilation. We are in
formed that the Honorable Board of
Supervisors of Los Angeles county
have been or are now considering the
propriety of disposing of the present
hospital site with view to the re-
moval of the hospital further from the
city. Your committee is impressed
with many advantages which might
accrue as the result of such removal,
among others the probability of being
able to secure remunerative price for
the present site, the selection of a
larger acreage at moderate price and
the surety of securing place afford
ing better advantages for sewerage.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

few road-masters or overseers have
proper knowledge of the law govern
ing their Office or the ability to per-
form the duties of the same. We find
that said overseers have worked some
one or two special roads in their dis
tricts and have expended all their
money on said roads to the neglect of
other roads of equal merit. We find
that some of said road-masters have
wilfully neglected to repair roads and
bridges after their attention had been
repeatedly called to their bad condi-
ton. With few exceptions we find
that road overseers have kept no cor
rect books, have squandered large
sums for inadequate labor. We find
that the Board Of Supervisors have
failed in the proper management of
the road fund and in the supervision
OF the work under the roadmasters and
the proper and equitable distribution
OF said funds upon the various roads
In the county so far as we have ex-
amined. We would recommend that
the Board of Supervisors give special
attention to public roads, that thew
employ competent engineer to make
surveys and estimates for the proper
grading of county roads and that all
work costing more than $50 shall be
let by contract to the lowest bidder.
that all incompetent overseers be dis
charged and that they demand prompt
reports and correct accounts from
said overseers. We further call the
attention of the Council to the streets
of the city of Los Angeles leading to
the approaches of the county roads.

A Wonderful Little Engine

At New Britain. Conn, one day, not
long ago, the Case Engine Company was
organized with capital stock OF $500, 900
The invention is Of a unique character,
and the history Of its development reads
like q romance. Case, tho inventor, has
been at work on 1t fifteen years. His
theories have been laughed down, but he
has persevered. spending time aud money.
The sale Of patent on water wheel for
$25, 900, few years ago, suiiiced to keep
the wolf from the door. Other patents have
brought him something, but his main at
tention has been concentrated on the on
gine, A few weeks ago he solved the
problem. With few pieces OF cast iron
he has constructed a tea horse power en-
gine that is only eighteen inches long and
eight inches wide. II certainly does tho
work. All tests have been applied. Skep.
tical machinists who saw it at first refused
to believe that there was not something
concealed, as the engine hangs from the
wall like piece OF shafting II has been
run for a low cost per day. Case was sud
denly besieged by capitalists. In a fort
night he received 81, 900 for the refusal to
form company. He will eventually get
$4,000 in cash for bis patents and S75, 900
in stock
